• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I apologize

I do not wish to hurt feelings of folks in this forum. I apologize if I have. It is really hard to see what is happening to CF. I am a crusader by nature and it is hard to accept what has happened in 3 1/2 months.

Steve,

First I want you to know that you're probably one of the most respected voices around here - both pre and post 777.

Second - in response to your OP, I truly can't think of a time where you've hurt my feelings. Even if you were critical of me, my shoulders are broad enough to take it. Because you are who you are I'd have to look at myself and see if the criticism was warranted (I'm sure it wouldn't be - but I'd look just in case).

Anyhow - can't speak for others, but no issues here.

Thanks I appreciate the friends here. I do miss dozens who have left because God's Word was replaced with Wiki-relativism.

I do not regret fighting against it. I do not think Lee will risk losing many members by taking a clear stand.

Hope I am wrong. Not wagering my reps on it.

:sigh:

:hug: I'm going to be really honest with you... more honest than I have been in a long time.

When I first was on staff Steve, I considered you my enemy. I wasn't sure about you and felt that you were a threat to my Catholic forum and to me... me being Catholic. I didn't trust you, nor like you.

I was always polite to you because it would of been a sin in my heart not to be. I probaby have written negative things about you at one time... and for this.. I pray and beg for your forgiveness.

After getting to know you better throughout the years now, I have come to realize that you are not my enemy and you have grown to be very dear to me. A friend. A true and loving brother in Christ that I respect.

I have grown to not only respect you and love you as my brother in Christ, but also to appreciate your insights and your great sense of humor and most of all your courage and strength to stand up for Christ. We may not agree on a lot of things in our Christian faith beliefs... but I do believe that we agree on Christ being Lord and Savior and that the changes that have taken place have been very detrimental to those seeking Christ and those who might be weak in their faith.

I understand your hurt and discouragement because of the changes here. We all are hurting and probably discouraged too... you are not alone.

The reason that I'm opening up like this is because I trust you to know that you are dear to me now and together, in unity, we'll pray through these things and in unity, we'll get through these things... and tomorrow really is another day for us to all continue to fight the good fight of faith and not to give up. Sure, we take breaks... it's good to take breaks and refresh ourselves... it's good to stand back and watch and lurk... and learn and grow... but at the end, my brother in Christ, my dear friend... when we meet Jesus face to face... we'll know with all of our heart that we did what we could... we did our best. That is all we can hope for and pray for and desire.

This is my worry and concern too. We'll continue to fight against it. And then when it is all said and done... God will have the last word in it. HUGS

Love you, sir. It has just been a rough couple of days and I am battlesore. I think I hurt you last night for chiding you and I am sorry. I am tender right now and Satan is exaggerating everything in my mind. You know? I feel like I have Spiritual Flu. Everytime I think I am better, then, I feel sick all over again. Pray for me. You are one of the best people here and you are one of my heros.
